Terence Gavin received a two-year suspended sentence for theft at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 22 November 2019. The theft occurred while youths attacked taxi driver Imram Shahzad in Dublin on 4 August 2016.

Gavin pleaded guilty to taking €320 from Shahzad’s wallet and was ordered to pay money held in court towards the loss and taxi damage. Judge Martin Nolan sentenced him for theft, not the assault, noting Gavin was not responsible for that attack.

The court was told Gavin had 12 previous convictions, while the teenagers involved in the attack were never identified.
